Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Beyond Toxics protects and enhances human and environmental health. We use environmental justice engagement and community-based environmental grassroots organizing to ensure environmental protection and health for all communities. We empower communities to enact lasting solutions to environmental health threats.

  • Environmental justice: Beyond Toxics is a statewide environmental justice nonprofit. We work to eliminate systemic inequities by building a grassroots environmental justice movement in marginalized communities to collectively restore community health and ecological balance. Our work starts with community-led organizing, leading to legal, regulatory and policy victories that end damaging environmental practices and reduce legacy pollution. We initiated legislative adoption of Oregons Joint Resolution on an Environmental Justice Framework and introduced the concept for equity criteria in land use.

    Expenses $350,894 · Grants $25,980

  • Climate Equity, Air and Water Quality: We are working to achieve a society where everyone has equitable access to a stable climate and clean air and water, and underserved communities are included in decision making processes that affect them. We fight to end damaging environmental and climate pollution while collectively working to support leadership in the most impacted communities, restore public health, and maintain ecological resilience and balance. We initiated the successful campaign to require continuous dioxin and heavy metal emissions monitoring for waste incinerators, launched the Bethel Clean and Just Energy Project for a J40 community and conducted groundbreaking research on indoor air pollution from the use of gas appliances.

    Expenses $251,079 · Grants $7,700

  • Pesticide Policy Reform: Beyond Toxics works to expose and reduce the damaging impacts of pesticides on the health of Oregonians, streams, natural lands and wildlife. From pesticides that harm farm workers to systemic chemicals that kill bees, Beyond Toxics takes action to educate decision makers and the public about the dangers of pesticides and advance policy changes that restrict or reduce pesticide use, ban unsafe uses, and protect those who are most vulnerable. We played a key role in Oregon becoming the fourth state to phase out the use of insecticide chlorpyrifos.

    Expenses $137,306

  • Chemical policy reform: Beyond Toxics works to protect consumers from unnecessary and harmful toxic chemicals in products and our environment.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
